ACADEMIC AND CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

“Michelle stood out among her very accomplished graduate student peers not only because she had a wider range of therapy-relevant life and work experiences, but more importantly because of her extraordinary openness to and eagerness for new learning. She is passionate about learning and disciplined at the same time, always using her superior critical thinking ability to facilitate a careful consideration and possible incorporation of new ideas and methods of clinical practice….She is at once warm and empathic, yet comfortable setting necessary clinical boundaries and challenging clients to take growthful risks. She has a remarkable ability simultaneously to keep in full view both the “big picture” of clients’ experience along with the kinds of small details and nuances that so often make a very large difference in a therapist’s grasping of her clients’ experience…Indeed she is a de facto leader among the program’s students and at the same time a very collaborative “team player”.

— Past Clinical Professor, Ph.D.

“Michelle has a keen sense of theoretical and clinical knowledge and has superb skills in integrating both sets of skills. She consistently displays the highest ethical standards and wisdom in her thinking and application of knowledge.

— Current Post-Graduate Supervisor, Ph.D., LCSW

She has worked to integrate a systems perspective into her already considerable repertoire. Michelle is diligent, caring, and completely responsible with her work with clients. She connects well and is very helpful in difficult times with lots of concrete tools for clients. She has been an excellent therapist in training and group member.
